Where to change prefix/suffix for optimized file names?

Post by bigbluesd »

I had version 8 and changed the suffix that was added to the filenames of the resulting PDF files after "Save as Optimized" was used.

I upgraded to version 10 and can no longer find the setting that I changed. Was it removed from the software? Where can I change the filename suffix?

Hello, bigbluesd

I don't believe that the Editor offers controls for that, but if you were making us of PDF-Tools for the process, you would change that in the Tools "save document" output settings:

Hi all,

It seems like it is still possible to change the prefix/suffix for the name of optimized files in PDF-XChange Editor V10.
You only have to know where ...

You can find the "Optimizer Settings"-dialog-box via the File-menu > Preferences > Plugins > PDF Optimizer > Setup...

I hope this helps.

Kind regards.

Willy

Hi Willy,

This is a massive help to me — well done and huge thanks to you for knowing where to find it, when PDF XChange themselves didn't even know!

Very best wishes from London.
:D

Glad to read that the information in this topic has helped you further.

A word of thanks to the people of PDF-XChange Support for there everyday effort to help people using their applications.
There are so many options and features in PDF-XChange products that it becomes difficult to know them all.

Kind regards.

Hello, Willy Van Nuffel

I would like to extend the same thanks to you, Willy. On days when we cannot quite get it all caught up here on the forums, I often see you (and a few others) stepping up, and like above sometimes even going so far as to teach me about our own software!
It is greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
